Not sure what all the angst is about. Good sides win no matter where or when. Poor sides look for excuses. We will win both.

we have a pretty good win rate in the meaningless games.

It's the ones for points that we find harder

Still think a community series game in Airlie Beach would be a good idea.

Is this your way of telling us you live in paradise, FD?

I do get tired of the perfect weather and fantastic nightlife though.

Nice!  Good test first up.  Freo should be very competitive next season and we traditionally do terrible in Round 1.

We have to start winning on the MCG, our record there under Goodwin is shocking.

Our draw has been kind and gives us the opportunity to create some momentum, get wins on the board early.  

Freo, St Kilda, GWS and Hawks are must wins if we’re to have a crack at the Top 4. Win one of Geelong or Richmond and we’re 5-1 and well on track for the double-chance.

Drop Geelong and Richmond and one other and its 3-3 and its just more of the same, inconsistent, mediocrity.  Anything less than 3 wins after 6 rounds and I’ll be calling for heads to roll.

BB, Yze and Chocco are great additions and I reckon will give the group a real spur. Another pre-season with Burgess as well so I’m genuinely confident and think this group can deliver.

Another Covid outbreak and the WA hard border has returned. 
 

Will we even see the game against Freo given the quarantine period that may or may not be in place?

Will the players be back in hubs before we know it?

After the last couple of days Steve I would say it is less than a 50/50 chance. If the 2021 season goes ahead without serious change I will be astounded.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
